Maps and mapping tools are at their core, a means of communicating spatial information. As GIS professionals it is our job to interpret data and data needs in order to provide spatial solutions for clients and end users. Throughout this session we will revisit the fundamentals of good map products and explore new and effective ways to adapt and apply these fundamentals to current technologies.
The discussion will outline various concepts of communication as they apply to maps, geodatabase design and data visualization as well as highlight tools available to the GIS professional that aid in effective spatial communication.
